Description Just me on guitar doing a little test to see how this whole Macjams thingy works for the first time. Threw this together as I was playing it, trying in vain to keep the hands doing what the brain was thinking. I know the audio is a not of the best quality and I'll try to fix the pops and what not in a later version of this "master piece". If you feel you can add to it, by all means go for it!
Lyrics None
Hardware Just my one knob Kramer Striker through the Alesis Quadraverb and right into the computer.
Software: Audacity

it works!
Welcome to MJ, bent propeller and all. :-) And welcome to the slow but fun process of getting set up to record and collaborate on musical this-n-thats. Audacity is easy to record into, but not that great to try to do multi-tracking with (adding drums, bass, etc.) And, early on, you may also want to offer to add guitar/drums/etc to other Macjammer's works and have them do the mixing, as you learn how to do it in parallel yourself... that's how many of us learned.

ttfn,
Drakonis

Thanks

Thanks for the nice welcome and advice Drakonis. I'm interested to know if you are eluding to Audacity's (seemingly common) track sync problem, which I am now currently experiencing? Bummer! I've tried different bit rates with varying results, but that took up a good amount of time. I'm pretty much stuck with what I have for now so I'll have to sally forth. (It may be my machine is to wimpy to handle the MASSIVE sound of my one knob guitar.)

hey there
welcome to MJ. sounds good. second what Drak said about Audacity. I have done whole songs in it, but find it much easier with other software. Try out Reaper, it's shareware and really good. there is a mac beta version now that works well. if i can make a suggestion, when you post an open collab you might want to say what the BPM is for the song. a lot of people are doing MIDI and it helps get loops synced, get the bounces on delay right, etc... like the sound of the quadraverb too. see you around.
